Evergreen was founded in 1989 as a non-profit education and resource organization by individuals who were experiencing unwanted same-sex attractions (SSA / SGA) in their own lives.

Our unique Evergreen Partners programs feature a mentoring emphaisis that allows those who have actually been there to reach out and assist others who are new to the experience.

Mission Statement:

Evergreen is founded on the belief that the atonement of Jesus Christ enables every soul the opportunity to turn away from all sins or conditions that obstruct their temporal and eternal happiness and potential. 

Evergreen attests that individuals can overcome homosexual behavior and can diminish same-sex attraction, and is committed to assisting individuals who wish to do so. 

Evergreen provides education, guidance, and support to those involved in the transition from homosexuality, and is available as a resource to family, friends, professional counselors, religious leaders, and all others involved in assisting individuals who desire to change. 

Evergreen sustains the doctrines and standards of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints without reservation or exception, but is not affiliated with the Church. Evergreen welcomes all people who wish to participate in the pursuit of these goals.
